Mr. Knoxville, 1985
personal trainer since 1982

as the body starts to burn fat for fuel. For instance, at the 45 to 60
minute mark. I got some advice to push this to 2 hours to take
advantage of the fat burning effect. I now include at least one 2-hour

First let remind you, I asked about the muscles in my legs while walking. I
